Q: Chrome USB-c universal charger?? Faster charging?

I have been looking for an alternative charger to the Apple USB c charger to both charge the MacBook faster and also give more energy to a USB hub to charge my iPad / iPhone. Has anyone tried google's 60w charger?

A larger charger will not charge batteries faster.

It doesn't. If it does the difference will be slight, very, very slight. The charge rate is controlled by the iDevice, not by the available current.
